Ex-NOAA chief: Trump firings put lives, jobs, and science in jeopardy

Eight staff members were let go from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, totaling 20% of the lab's workforce, as part of layoffs from the Trump administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce.
Reports indicate a total reduction of 1,200 staff due to layoffs and resignations, with an additional 1,029 NOAA employees expected to be let go, impacting 20% of the agency.
Experts, including Paul Roebber, highlighted that the firings would negatively affect weather forecasting and Great Lakes science.
Rebecca Knoche, the former Great Lakes regional coordinator at NOAA, described her dismissal as 'hurtful and harmful' after learning about it moments before her flight home.
